Perama, nestled on Corfu's east coast, is a tranquil locale that offers more than just stunning seaside views; it is a window into the rich tapestry of Greek mythology and history. Directly facing the fabled Mouse Island, or Pontikonisi, Perama boasts one of the most iconic vistas in Greece. Mouse Island, with its petite monastery of Pantokrator dating back to the 11th or 12th century, is shrouded in myths and is a symbol of Corfu's intriguing past. Legend has it that the island is the petrified ship of Odysseus, turned to stone by Poseidon.
This area's proximity to Corfu Town means that visitors can easily immerse themselves in the island's vibrant history, from ancient ruins to Venetian fortresses, and then retreat to the peaceful embrace of Perama. The region is ideal for those who appreciate the beauty of nature, offering scenic walks and breathtaking viewpoints, especially the unforgettable sight of airplanes flying over Mouse Island, creating a unique blend of natural and modern spectacle.
Choosing Perama for your stay means experiencing the essence of Corfu - its beauty, its myths, and its welcoming spirit.
